In a shocking incident was reported from Gujarat’s Ahmedabad. A 22-year-old woman allegedly killed her three-month-old son after being disturbed over his “constant cry", as per PTI.
The police have arrested the accused mother.
According to DB Basiya, inspector of Meghaninagar police station, the woman, Karishma Baghel, claimed last Saturday that she couldn’t find her infant son anywhere. Her husband, Dilip, later went to the police station and filed a complaint.
During the search, the police found the body of the baby in the underground water tank of their house at Ambikanagar locality on Monday (April 7), the police official said.
The authorities started a probe, suspecting that someone threw the child into the tank as the tank’s structure made an accidental fall nearly impossible, the police said.
During investigation, the 22-year-old mother kept giving different statements that raised suspicion. She had said that she put her baby in a room before going to the bathroom, adding that he was not there when she came back.
“Karishma had been emotionally and physically disturbed ever since she got pregnant, always complaining of some health issues and telling her family members that she was disturbed as her child cried a lot," the official was quoted as saying.
